My Thoughts:

Hmmm, yes, the right to learn versus the obligation to attend school.

Do we really learn the most necessary things (for our lives) in school?

Why does learning have to result in obligatory schools?

Schools are meant to prepare for the future and for the practical life. But is school really that practical and how can one know what the future brings?

Why does everybody have to fit into the same mold?
